Day 1 of Christmas break//

Amelia's POV_

Christmas was coming.

No one and I mean no one could wait for the holidays to begin, especially me. My body was practically buzzing, and I kept swinging my legs back and forth- I simply could not keep still. I was perched with Dani up on a ledge in the middle of a corridor, laughing my butt off because the twins had spelled snowballs to follow Professor Quirrel around. Every time I would stop laughing it would hit the back of his turbine and that was it, I was done for, my body being rocked by my laugher.

The halls were empty, I know its terrible to skip class but it was also oddly exciting. The twins did this on the  regular, I should probably stop hanging around them- such a bad influence. This was better than Potion's lately, ever since Slytherin had lost at the Quidditch match Draco had been exceptionally nasty. "I cant believe we got Amelia to skip class," George teased. Fred popped his collar, "I told you I could do it with my charm." I couldn't help but roll my eyes at that,  yeah okay.  George playfully ruffled his hair. "Yeah now we have someone to blame if we get caught." I snorted like that was ever goanna happen. "Aren't you two used to detention?" I asked grinning, just thinking about how many times they got caught playing their little pranks this year. And the year wasn't even over yet. "We can be pretty persuasive," George quipped. "Yeah so can we," Dani chimed from next to me. She hopped down from the ledge, oh no here we go I thought watching the scene with a weary eye.  George gave her a look of mock disbelief as she inched towards him, she had that usual fire in her eyes when she was trying to prove something. Which was basically all the time.

"Yeah hello, Professor McGonagall?" She sounded so innocent, I leaned forward interested to hear what was churning around in that big brain of hers.   "I was so scared," She started in a choked up voice. "The twins they seem so carefree and harmless but they're really not. Don't believe them Professor! I thought I was their friend but oh they proved me wrong. They dragged us out here, told us we had to watch as they performed their vile pranks and then make us take the fall. Please you know me and Amelia Professor, we have never got detention before and we don't want to start now, just let us feel safe again." By the time she was finished she had real unshed tears in her eyes, even my throat had tightened. What she described about the twins couldn't be farther from the truth but I was starting to believe her, she was good. George had an impressed look on his face, while Fred just stared open mouthed. I raised my eyes brows as Dani took a deep breath regaining herself and smirking with pride. Well now I know if I'm ever in a hairy situation I'll need her by my side.

"Not as dumb as she looks folks," George finally whispered. It was like there was a layer of ice around them, as they both continued to stare at each other. I shared a look with Fred, well this was interesting.  I decided to yank them out of their trance, it was starting to get a little awkward for those of us who weren't gazing into each others eyes. "Yeah plus, its better than going to Potions and seeing that git Draco Malfoy." Clearly my words had the desired effect because both Dani and George took a startled step away from each other. What I didn't intend was for Fred to be so alarmed. "Why has he done something to you?" I tilted my head toward him my eyes softening, hoping I was sending him a look that said he didn't have to be so worried. "He's just been bothering me that's all." Dani heaved herself up on the ledge next to me once again while snorting. "That's and understatement, he's been obsessed with her ever since the Quidditch game after she tried to distract him. Throwing it in her face from time to time."

I now  had everybody's eyes on me and I didn't like it so I merely shrugged. "Well you can do better than Draco Malfoy," Fred said dryly. Oh I would never be with Draco in a million years. I was about to voice my thoughts when students started pooling into the hallway. Then our worst fears came to pass when McGonagall began striding towards us a glint in her eyes. My mouth formed an 'O' shape as Dani cursed under her breath. I went flying off the ledge flinging the bag with my school books over my shoulder. Dani was right next to me as we hurried away, the twins right behind us. I looked at Dani, her face was impassive but we did that silent communication thing. We both whirled around and I shoved Fred's chest, while Dani shoved George sending them to stumble back right into McGonagall. We smiled brightly at them and turned away, their groans audible all the way down the hallway. I spotted Harry, Ron and Hermione so we joined them with the flow of the crowd.
